Chapter 504
“Even if you’re here, it might not make much of a difference. The Waverlies hold a formidable position in the media industry, and they’re not easy to challenge,” Lemira said, her voice laced with caution.
Orion listened thoughtfully before responding, “Lemmy, you really don’t need to be so cautious.”
“This is Orvin, after all. Sometimes you have no choice but to bow your head,” Lemira replied, her eyes serious as they met his. “But returning to the Langston family isn’t just about the inheritance my parents left me. There’s another significant reason.”
“What is it?”
She hesitated for a moment before speaking. “I discovered there’s more to the car accident back then.”
Orion’s heart skipped a beat, and it took him a moment to find his voice. “What did you find out?”
Had she discovered his secret?
In that moment, he felt like a prisoner awaiting a verdict.
“I found out Evelina’s father isn’t dead,” Lemira revealed.
Orion was taken aback. “Wasn’t her father your parents‘ driver? He supposedly died in that explosion.”
He had been there, witnessing the tragic scene where the driver returned to the car moments before it exploded. Under those circumstances, survival seemed impossible.
Lemira nodded. “That’s what I’ve always believed, too. But recently, I had the TG Group’s PR Team keep an eye on Evelina, and they captured her meeting with a middle–aged man.”
“Are you sure the man in the photo is Evelina’s father?”
“I’m certain. I wouldn’t mistake him.”
Initially, Lemira had doubted herself, but upon reflection, she knew it was indeed Evelina’s father.
Orion was astonished.
He couldn’t help bu Could the driver really have survived?
ask, “Then who was driving that day? The driver must have died, but whether it was
Evelina’s father is uncertain, right?”
“That’s right. I even tested my brothers about it, and they all said they saw Evelina’s father driving before they
left.”
“Maybe there was a switch along the way?”
Lemira nodded. “I’ve considered that possibility, but my parents are gone, and I can’t remember the details of that day. There’s no evidence to support my theory.”
“Evelina’s father only appeared once, and since then, I’ve found no trace of him.”
“Even the TG Group couldn’t find anything?” Orion asked.
“No, they couldn’t. That’s why I’ve decided to return to the Langston family for now. Only by cornering Evelina like last time can we force the people behind her to reveal themselves.”
Orion pondered this. “When I investigated the car crash, I found no connection to the Sinclair family, even though they seemed the most likely suspects. But if we consider your theory, it might have been orchestrated by Evelina’s father.”
“You’re right, I’d almost forgotten about that. Starting with the driver might lead us to something,” Lemira agreed.
Orion gently touched her head. “It’s just a theory, though. It’s been years, and it might take some time.”

“I know, but the accident wasn’t simple. Asher said the driver was linked to the Sinclair family, and there was someone else in the car.”
Orion’s lips tightened as he lost the ability to speak, his fingers trembling slightly.
Finally, he managed to ask, “What do you plan to do once you find that person?”
“I want to ask them why they were in such a hurry that day, why they had to run the yellow light,” Lemira said, her emotions flaring.
“If they hadn’t run the light, the accident wouldn’t have happened.”
Her eyes burned with fierce determination. “I want them to pay for what they did!”
